#HMSBookBeast

#HMSBookBeast highlights a voracious reader at HMS.  These #HMSBookBeasts are frequenters of our Library Media Center, and can be found among our shelves previewing books and/or making recommendations to their peers.  
 
We celebrate our #HMSBookBeasts by giving them an opportunity to share their favorite reads.  We create a display in our Library Media Center of their beloved books for all of our HMS community to enjoy.
